<h1>Add to svn:ignore</h1>
<p>
    This function is initiated via the <span class="menu">Team &gt; Add to svn:ignore </span> menu
    option.
</p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
    You can choose to let SVN ignore certain resources (files or folders) in
        your working copy, such as derived files (e.g. <span class="filefolder">.class</span> files
        compiled from Java source) and other files that do not belong under version
        control. By ignoring them, SVN doesn't mark them as <em>unknown</em>,
        and they no longer appear in the <a href="team-synchronize.html">Synchronize
        View</a>.
</p>
<h2>Process</h2>

    To ignore specific resources, select the file(s) and/or folder(s) you wish
        to ignore, and choose <span class="menu">Add to svn:ignore</span> in
        the Team menu. This will bring up a selection where you may choose how
        to ignore the file:
<ul>
    <li>
        By name (only the selected resource)
    </li>
    <li>
        By wildcard extension (based on the selected resources)
    </li>
    <li>
        By a custom pattern that you enter (e.g. <span class="filefolder">log*.txt</span>)
    </li>
</ul>
<p>
    When in doubt, choose the first option, <span class="control">Resource(s)
    by name</span>, since that will never ignore a resource that wasn't explicitly
    selected.
